net/rds: Clear reconnect pending bit

2026-03-04T12:20:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit b89fc7c2523b2b0750d91840f4e52521270d70ed ] When canceling the reconnect worker, care must be taken to reset the reconnect-pending bit. If the reconnect worker has not yet been scheduled before it is canceled, the reconnect-pending bit will stay on forever.

net/rds: No shortcut out of RDS_CONN_ERROR

2026-03-04T12:20:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit ad22d24be635c6beab6a1fdd3f8b1f3c478d15da ] RDS connections carry a state "rds_conn_path::cp_state" and transitions from one state to another and are conditional upon an expected state: "rds_conn_path_transition." There is one exception to this conditionality, which is "RDS_CONN_ERROR" that can be enforced by "rds_conn_path_drop" regardless of what state the condition is currently in. But as soon as a connection enters state "RDS_CONN_ERROR", the connection handling code expects it to go through the shutdown-path. The RDS/TCP multipath changes added a shortcut out of "RDS_CONN_ERROR" straight back to "RDS_CONN_CONNECTING" via "rds_tcp_accept_one_path" (e.g. after "rds_tcp_state_change"). A subsequent "rds_tcp_reset_callbacks" can then transition the state to "RDS_CONN_RESETTING" with a shutdown-worker queued. That'll trip up "rds_conn_init_shutdown", which was never adjusted to handle "RDS_CONN_RESETTING" and subsequently drops the connection with the dreaded "DR_INV_CONN_STATE", which leaves "RDS_SHUTDOWN_WORK_QUEUED" on forever. So we do two things here: a) Don't shortcut "RDS_CONN_ERROR", but take the longer path through the shutdown code. b) Add "RDS_CONN_RESETTING" to the expected states in "rds_conn_init_shutdown" so that we won't error out and get stuck, if we ever hit weird state transitions like this again."

rds: Fix endianness annotation of jhash wrappers

2025-08-22T23:44:34+00:00

__ipv6_addr_jhash (wrapper around jhash2()) and __inet_ehashfn (wrapper around jhash_3words()) work with u32 (host endian) values but accept big endian inputs. Declare the local variables as big endian to avoid unnecessary casts. Flagged by Sparse.

replace strncpy with strscpy_pad

2025-05-26T20:28:44+00:00

The strncpy() function is actively dangerous to use since it may not NULL-terminate the destination string, resulting in potential memory content exposures, unbounded reads, or crashes. Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 In addition, strscpy_pad is more appropriate because it also zero-fills any remaining space in the destination if the source is shorter than the provided buffer size.

RDS tcp loopback connection can hang

2021-05-21T21:46:59+00:00

When TCP is used as transport and a program on the system connects to RDS port 16385, connection is accepted but denied per the rules of RDS. However, RDS connections object is left in the list. Next loopback connection will select that connection object as it is at the head of list. The connection attempt will hang as the connection object is set to connect over TCP which is not allowed The issue can be reproduced easily, use rds-ping to ping a local IP address. After that use any program like ncat to connect to the same IP address and port 16385. This will hang so ctrl-c out. Now try rds-ping, it will hang. To fix the issue this patch adds checks to disallow the connection object creation and destroys the connection object. Signed-off-by: Rao Shoaib Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rds: If one path needs re-connection, check all and re-connect

2020-07-02T00:35:17+00:00

In testing with mprds enabled, Oracle Cluster nodes after reboot were not able to communicate with others nodes and so failed to rejoin the cluster. Peers with lower IP address initiated connection but the node could not respond as it choose a different path and could not initiate a connection as it had a higher IP address. With this patch, when a node sends out a packet and the selected path is down, all other paths are also checked and any down paths are re-connected.

RDS Service type (TOS) is user-defined and needs to be configured via RDS IOCTL interface. It must be set before initiating any traffic and once set the TOS can not be changed. All out-going traffic from the socket will be associated with its TOS.
